These healthy banana protein pancakes are quick, easy, and under 300 calories per serving. Made with simple ingredients like bananas, eggs, protein powder, and Greek yogurt, they offer a light yet satisfying breakfast or post-workout meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 cup (about 50g) vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • 1/4 cup plain, non-fat Greek yogurt (plus extra for topping)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon cooking oil or butter (avocado oil or light olive oil recommended)

Instructions

  1. Peel and mash 2 ripe bananas in a bowl until smooth with a few small lumps remain, about 2 minutes.
  2. Crack 2 large eggs into the bowl with the bananas and whisk vigorously until well combined and slightly frothy, about 1 minute.
  3. Add 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (if using), and a pinch of salt. Stir gently just until combined; do not overmix. Batter should be thick but pourable. If too thick, add 1 tablespoon milk (dairy or plant-based).
  4. Fold in 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt carefully to keep airiness.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon oil or butter and swirl to coat evenly. Pan should be hot but not smoking.
  6. Scoop about 1/4 cup (60 ml) batter per pancake onto skillet. Cook 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on surface and edges look set.
  7. Flip carefully and cook the other side 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Transfer pancakes to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm while cooking remaining pancakes.
  9. Serve stacked pancakes topped with a generous spoonful of Greek yogurt. Add fresh fruit or drizzle honey if desired.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense pancakes; lumps are okay. Use medium heat to cook pancakes evenly without burning. Prepare batter the night before and refrigerate for a quick breakfast. If batter thickens after sitting, stir gently and add a splash of milk if needed. Use a well-oiled non-stick pan or ceramic-coated skillet to prevent sticking.
